As the curtain falls on our production of for colored girls who have considered suicide / when the rainbow is enuf, our hearts are full with gratitude, pride, and deep emotion.
This show has been more than a performance. It has been a testimony, a celebration, a prayer, and a reckoning. With every word of Ntozake Shange’s powerful choreopoem, our cast and crew poured their souls into honoring the stories of Black women; their stories, their joy, their resilience, and their healing.
To our extraordinary cast: thank you for your bravery, your vulnerability, and your unwavering commitment to truth. You carried these words with grace and fire, and in doing so, transformed the stage into sacred ground.
To our brilliant creative and production team: your vision and care turned poetry into movement, light, sound, and space. You held this story with the tenderness it deserves, and the audience felt that with every cue, every costume, every note.
And to our audiences: thank you for witnessing. For holding space. For showing up, again and again, with open hearts.
Though the final bow has been taken, the spirit of this production lives on in the conversations sparked, the tears shed, the connections made. We carry this experience forward with reverence and love, grateful for what we built together.
With love and deepest thanks,
The AUTC Family
